3.4 Schematics Description
3.4.1 AC Input Circuit & Differential Filter
There are four components in this section. The Fuse F1 protects against over- current conditions which occur when some of the main components fail. The NTC1 can effectively reduce inrush current. The LF1 is common choke filter for the common mode noise suppression filtering due to each coil with large impedance. The BD1 is an AC-DC rectifier, and converts alternating current & voltage into direct current & voltage.

3.4.2 AP3108LS PWM Controller
The AP3108LS PWM controller U1 and Opto-Coupler U2 as well as Q1 are the power converting core components. Connected to filtered output after bridge circuit, D9 & R6 resistor path will provide start-up voltage and current during starting up through HV (Pin 9). Subsequent VCC power will be provided by voltage feedback from the auxiliary winding through R60 and D6. This design is to accommodate the required wide voltage range to support various protocols (including USB PD Programmable Power Supply PPS), from 3.3V to 20V.
Based on feedback of secondary side (Pin CATH of AP43771 Decoder) to primary side (FB pin of AP3108LS) by through Optocoupler U2, the AP3108LS will switch ON and Off Q1 to regulate the desired voltage and current on the secondary side.

3.4.3 APR348 Synchronous Rectification (SR) MOSFET Driver
The APR348 operates in CCM/DCM mode in this design and drives the Q51 MOSFET. As the power loss with the APR348-controlled MOSFET Q51 is less than Schottky Diodes, the total efficiency can be improved.

3.4.4 AP43771 PD3.0+ Decoder & Protection on /off P MOSFET and Interface to Power Devices
The few sets of important pins provide critical protocol decoding and regulation functions in AP43771:

1. CC1 & CC2 (Pin 10, 11): CC1 & CC2 (Configuration Channel 1 & 2) are defined by the USB PD spec to provide the channel communication link between power source and sink devices.
2. Constant Voltage (CV): The CV sensing resistors are integrated into MCU. There is a loop compensation circuit C26 & R26 between Pin8 & Pin5, the fast voltage response can be obtained by adjusting their value. The output voltages can be adjusted by firmware programming.
3. Over current protection (OCP): The OCP is implemented by sensing via current sense resistor (R21, 10mΩ) and current sense amplifier, then comparing with internal programmable reference voltage to generate a signal on OCDRV pin (pin 5).
4. OCDRV (Pin 5): It is the key interface that links secondary decoder (AP43771) to primary PWM regulation controller (AP3108LS), through the Cath pin to Opto-coupler U2A link that will feed all information based on all sensed CC1 & CC2 voltage status signals back to primary PWM controller for getting desired Vbus voltage & current.
5. GATE Driver (Pin 2) to N-MOSFET Gate: The pin is used to turn on/off Vbus load switch (Q3) to enable/disable voltage output to the Vbus. An extra N-MOSFET (Q3) is required to prevent reverse current from the attached battery source.

2. Prepare a certified three-foot Type-C cable and a Standard-A to Micro-B Cable.

3. Connect the input AC L & N wires to AC power supply output “L and N“ wires.

4. Ensure that the AC source is switched OFF or disconnected before the connection steps.

5. A Type-C cable for the connection between EVB’s and Cypress’s Type-C receptacles.

6. Use 2 banana jack cables, one port of the cables are connected to E-load + & – terminals while the other port of the cables are connected to EVB’s VBUS & GND pads.
